Read the incredible true story of Baltimore Ravens lineman Michael Oher (pronounced OAR). One of thirteen children born to a crack addict mother, Oher spent his formative years on the streets of Memphis - times where neither the state nor the schools had any record of his existence.
But through a chance meeting with the Tuohy family at Briarcrest Christian High School, Oher becomes part of a family, attends school regularly, plays sports - and gets a chance in life. It's a powerful story with many great messages (although I did skim over the lengthy descriptions of the development of the left tackle in the NFL).Get more detail about The Blind Side.
